Farrnors' Meetings

The farmers are having a two-day week today and Thursday, a measure of efficiency and economy which should com- mend itself to other groups in the com- munity. Dairymen have today's sessions pretty much to themselves, to go into the problems of milk production and costs as well as prospects for marketing. This may well be regarded as one of the most im- portant conventions of the year, in view of the critical situation. facing the dairy in- dustry at the present time and its vital importance to our Island economy.

As noted in the report of the Depart- ment of Agriculture tabled in the Legis- lature this week, dairying has reached a transition stage calling for careful plan- ning and sound business judgment. Com- petition from vegetable oils has changed, to a very great extent, the form and char- acter of future dairy products. The report suggests that centralization on a large scale may not prove as desirable as operation by smaller plants specializing in one or two products, but it is conceded that this is is debatable question. In any event, "full- time high-geared efficiency" is required to meet the competition and conditions of the day.

A new Dairy Act has been framed for enactment by the Legislature this year, dealing with grading and other administra- tive regulations formerly provided under Federal legislation. No doubt its provisions are known in a general way to our dairy farmers, and will be discussed along with other matters at today's sessions.

On Thursday sheep men, the Central Farmersl Institute and the Federation of Agriculture hold meetings, in that order, and it may be expected that farmers will take a careful look at their own organiza- tions as well as at developments in farm- ing practice and in the pattern of con- sumer demand.

It is appropriate that an Agricultural Short Course is scheduled for the two weeks following, providing courses in gen- eral agricultural subjects, livestock first aid and farm mechanics. The organizer evident- ly believes in striking while the iron is hot and providing courses while interest in the farmer's problems is at a peak.

Like all professional and trades con-I ferences the farmers' gatherings will afford opportunities for youth and age to meet and form new contacts and friendships in the course of sessions and between them. The essence of successful organization, of course, is that members should be able to work together and support decisions. Un- animity of opinion is too much to hope for but if members know and respect one an- other they more readily lend support to policies which they may have opposed while they were under consideration.

Another Frolgllt llatos Increase

There will be unanimous approval of the prompt action taken by Premier Jones in wiring Prime Minister St. Laurent at Ott- awa yesterday, protesting vigorously against the latest additional increase of 7 percent in freight rates and requesting sus- pension of this order of the Board of Transport Commissioners pending an ap- peal to the Federal Cabinet under the Rail- way Act. It is expected that our sister Maritime Provinces will take similar action, and probably the Western Provinces as well. Opposition to the increase has already been vofced in Parliament. but the Cabinet ii presumably waiting for reaction from the Provincial Governments. It is to be hoped they will get plenty of it. Our potato growers and shippers in particular will be seriously affected by the Board order, to such an extent as to seriously cripple their activities.

Considering the four previous increases allowed since the end of the war, the latest boost will be equivalent to something like 12 U2 per cent on the war-time rates and results in rates 187 per cent of those of the immediate post war years.

There was a time when the uneconomic construction of Marltlmes lines was recog- nized as a. military expedient and rates in these Provinces kept substantially below those prevailing in the Central Provinces. That differential was wiped out between 1912 and 1926 when Inter-colonial rates in- creased 92 pct cent as against an increase of 515 per . p, it I Canada. Since truck-

come into the picture the Central Prov- inces have never had to pay even the equalized rates, special competitive rates being applied there by the railways con- siderably below those granted by the Board. '

The effect has been to deprive us of the benefits of the Maritime Freight Rates Act, 1927, which was intended to put the Maritimes on an equal basis with the cen- tral Provinces by compengating the rail- ways for the higher cos 5 of moving freight from the seaboard to central points. Treating the railways as an ordinary busi- ness, there is reason for competitive rates in Ontario and Quebec and higher rates for long hauls to make up the desired rev- enue, but the effect on industry here is most unjustly depressing.

The principle implicit in the Maritime Freight Rates Act is that the Maritimes should be on an equal footing with pro- ducers in other parts of the country. Un- less we are to adopt a wholly free trade policy, enabling our producers to trade where they can, that principle must be maintained even though it requires the finding of some substitute for the railways' practice of charging what: the traffic will bear. It would be done if the railways were faced with stiff competition for the long haul traffic. It should be done as a matter of justice to the Maritimes.

Moving A Town

Mining officials decided on a novel means of solving the housing problem when a rich find of nickle was discovered about six hundred miles north of Winnipeg at Lynn Lake. The mining company that owned the holdings had a mining town 120 miles to the south where ore began to run out. So the company (Sherritt-Gordon Mining Company) decided a year ago to move the town to the new nickle property. The nickle was needed to build up the world's supply of the strategic metal and people were needed to mine it..

Because of the nature of the country- lakes, rivers and muskeg swamps-move ments of heavy loads was impossible only when winter had frozen the ground and waters solid. All last winter the operation of moving the town went on. Abandoned in the spring and summer the movement was renewed again early in the winter and it is expected to have the old town on a new site, complete, by spring.

The work was done by huge tractors and sleds, over a roughly bulldozed trail. The sleds are big enough to carry a full- sized family home, complete with furnish- ings. No roads or bridges, the huge trac- tors roar their way in a straight line from one site to the other. Alternating crews are in charge of the work that rarely stops. This, comments an exchange, is truly the modern age.

EDITORIAL NO-I-IES

Britain's rejection of the proposed tun- nel across the English Channel is probably not, as in Napoleon's time, because of fear of invasion. Those sea-girt islanders revel in the thought that a sea voyage or flight is necessary to leave or reach their soil.

Benjamin West, American historical painter, died this date 1820. He began por- trait painting at sixteen and studied in Italy. He settled in London, becoming :1 favorite of George III, and soon acquired a great reputation for historical and relig- ious paintings. On the death of Reynolds he was made president of the Royal Academy.

The cost of a ”demoralized market" is becoming apparent to Ontario turnip ship- pers. It might seem that truckers who would carry loads south for little or noth- ing because they had to bring back fruit would, stimulate shipments. Experience has shown, however, that the consequences are a falling off of total shipments. When even a small portion of they supply is sold cheaply no one is inclined to pay the full price for the remainder.

The prospects for the overall export sales of Canadian lumber during 1953 ap- pear good. However, information avail- able at the time of writing indicates that exports to the United Kingdom will prob- ably be reduced substantially during 1953. Circumstances contributing to this reduc- tion include the extremely stiff competition from Scandinavia, the Baltic countries and Russia, and the substantial release of Cana- dian lumber from the United Klngdomls strategic stockpile. Other Commonwealth countries should take increased quantities of Canadian lumber during 1953 because their 1953 purchases were down sub- stantially from previous years. The volume

of Canadian lumber marketed in the Uni- M p

ted States still continues at record levels and may possibly increase in 1953 if the forecast U. S. construction program is mlly carried out.

NORTH RUSTICO ROAD

Sir,-I wish to protest about the condition of the road between North Rustico and Cavendish. It is really a disgrace to the com- munity. There has been nothing done to t.hls road for a number of years, except scraping it a number of times during the sum- mer months. There are no gut- ters and the water simply flows down the middle of the road. It is really nor fit to travel on. and our mail courier has to use it every day. I understand that by-

roads back through the country are kept. in much better condi- lion.

Surely something can be done about it early this spring. Would it be asking too much for the Minister of Public Works to just drive out and see the condition for himself?

THE TEACHER. AND OUR WAY OF LIFE:

Bir,- Dr. H. L. Stewart, in his address recently delivered before the Teachers Institute in Prince of Wales College said: "I do feel that the teachers are a great safe- guard for our way of life."

It. would be very difficult to de- fine our way of life. Every man has a way of his own. "Jack Spratt can eat no fat; his wife can eat no lean." Canadian life is like that, a great mixture of tastes and desires, modes of thinking, speech and behaviour. We are sometimes about as different from each other as if we were born on different planets; but this variety adds to the value of our democracy. There

is nothing monotonous about Canadian life. But. there are certain broad

principles with which we all agree and by which we live. To put it briefly we want. to be a Christian people. We all want to be credited with Christian virtues whether we practice them or not. We agree that honesty, truth-telling, to play fair. freedom within the law are supremely essential in any charac- ter. I suppose when this phrase, our way of life, is used. full and complete democratic I. d is chiefly in mind, but apart from the above mentioned virtues, demo- cratic freedom has no meaning or value.

The school is a unique training ground for the teaching of the Christian virtues, self-control, clean speech. honuty. t.rut.h-teu- ing, comrnduhtp, loyalty, the very foundation stone: upon which I. great nation is built. outside of the home. there is no place where- these principles can be taught as in the school. Every day occasions arise when these principles oper- ate, and the teacher has her chance.

And here is the vital point of advantage. The pupils are tench- oble. Their minds are plastic. As some one has laid, "Five word: to I child means more than a whole lecture to an adult." Hitler knew that. nkhl. now, here in Canada, aunt: an nthorlng ohilrken into clam! to teach them the glory of the onunwnlot way.

If teachers thunoelveo are In- dwelt with those Christian, vir- tuu and unduotand that the my but they can do for their chil- dren ls to teach those principles to their children, then indeed will our teachers be safeguards for our way of life.

MAGNETISM

slrr This subject will luterut people in their early teens, who are open minded and ready to learn, or as we say. are in the plus- tic stage. Many of us just quit thinking after leaving school and go on to make a living instead of to make a life. A certain historian spoke of a time in which he said "To be alive then. was bliss. But to be young was very heaven." I believe we may say the same of this-present time with all its op- portunltles.

What. about magnetism? some call it gravitation. By it we stand on our feet or he on our beds. With- out it we would be blown around like feathers. This is the law that guides the planets in their diff..- ent. courses and carries out little world around the sun once every year, or in 306 days, five hours and and 20 minutes without variation. Occasionally we read of some one planning to visit the moon when he gets a. suitable conveyance built. It strikes me that the first few thousand miles would be the hard-

Birthday salute was duly fired on Rocliforrl Square yesterday by Major Pol- lnrd's Battery. Quite unnecessar- ily the guns were placed under the very windows of some of our citizens. That in gentleman so urbane and usually so thoughtful as Colonel Gray should have por- mltted this pcriotllcnl infliction is a matter of surprise to his friends.

So far we have spoken of inan- imate objects, but the same law is in force between living person- alities. I sat. at a table with four men, all strangers to me. we talk- ed and each told his story. I found one man drawing my attention in such a way that when we rose to go, I took his arm and inquired his name. I then realized that I was in the company of a. medical doctor who is known ball around the world for his accomplishments in Anglo-Africa. He heals the sick, gives sight to the blind and edu- cates the illiterate. He seemed to be super-charged with magnetism. It would be well worth while to inquire and discover how one can get that way.

Soon. Eastertlme will come and we will be reading of Mary Mag- dalene at. the sepulchre weeping. She was the one that through love for Christ, was delivered from seven deadly faults. She alone saw the two angels at the tomb, and was the first to recognize her ris- en Lord. Through magnetism He transformed a base metal into pure gold.
